Description
BURRO BREAKFAST by PRISCILLA BURGERS
This young burro arose from its sleep and immediately started nursing. These two burros are part of a large, friendly herd of feral burros at Custer State Park in South Dakota. They were introduced into the area by humans and have reverted to a wild or semi-wild state. The park's donkey squad descends from pack animals once used for treks to the Harney Peak summit. Now naturalized, they often pander for food from park tourists in places like the Wildlife Loop Road, sometimes causing traffic jams. Such is their boldness that they are often referred to as the "begging burros." Spotting the burros is generally easier than seeing more elusive creatures like elk or coyotes. Because of their inquisitiveness and habituation to human feeding, the herds can be encountered right along the roads. The South Dakota Division of Parks and Recreation stresses that visitors should be highly cautious around the begging burros, as any wild animal can be dangerous.
